Fool’s Gold Songtext
von Chris Shiflett

I guess my dad was a good man
Well at least he tried
Never took shit from anybody
All he owned was his pride

Joined the U.S. Navy
To run away from home
Gave the world the middle finger
Then he died alone, but he said

Hey, before you get old
You′ve been bought and sold
Don't believe everything you′ve been told
Hang on to that fool's gold
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey


Mama I apologize
I can't listen no more
I lost the will to agonize
It′s scattered on the floor

And my heart is like an abandoned house
On a cul-de-sac in a desert ghost town
Where the rain don′t fall in an endless drought
And the dust chokes the vine 'til the love dies out

Hey, before you get old
You′ve been bought and sold
Don't believe everything you′ve been told
Hang on to that fool's gold
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, before you get old
You′ve been bought and sold
Don't believe anything you've been told
Hang on to that fool′s gold

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey


Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
